Called "dakshina," it has traditionally been collected after instruction -- the only change MMY has made, in a node to this pathetically ignorant age (epitomized in the wheezy crap you post here), is to front-load the "preceptor's fee." If Lord Krishna Himself did not object to paying a fee (paid by means of rescuing the guru's son from death), then nobody has a valid objection to paying for services rendered, especially when they are of transcendental value. Is $2500 too much? It is, from any rational human point-of-view, but MMY has made it clear that Divine Intelligence recognizes the need to unfold enlightenment values gradually so as to avoid creating "fear and havoc" on this ignorant planet: http://geocities.com/bbrigante/retards.html#light Your failure to acknowledge this tactic of the Divine Plan is not surprising, since you have discarded your practice of TM in order to have more time to tell everybody here what idiots they are for enjoying growth to enlightenment through TM. ------------------------ Yahoo!
